Squirrels are active at all times of the year (Don't forget there's no "off season"!), are persistent, and they are active on all fours and nimble on the feet. They usually enter interior areas by soffit or thinned roof vent openings, or by chewed fascia boards and soon begin to work on insulation, wires, and wood beams within the attic area once they are inside.

They may chew through roof shingles, break apart roof vents, destroy a Rd roof, and pull paper off of roof soffits (mounted them with nails or tacks) to allow them to come in. When it's nesting time, particularly for the females, they are on a mission to find the warm cosiest nest to bring up their young.

Our Markham raccoon removal service guide covers the baby-check process that we have implemented as part of the exclusion solution when involved in a raccoon nesting situation and is used as the humane approach to removal throughout North York.

Signs You May Have Squirrels or Raccoons in Your Attic

It's often too late until it has caused damage to the homeowner to realize they have an active infestation. Attic insulation reduces noise, and animals are more likely to act when humans are unable to hear them.

Here are some hints to know raccoons and squirrels in the attic.

• Unusual noises, especially at dawn, dusk, or night 

• Exposure of the roof face, similar to broken fascia boards or soffits, masticated reflections, or missing( tearing) shingles 

• Droppings or nesting material – in attic or near entrances.

• Foul odours—a bad smell, musty, ammonia urine and droppings

• Rain etc damp patches on the ceiling ceiling (such as from chewed roof vents or plumber boots)

If you have ever experienced any of these, then you should not wait. Make sure to contact Sande Wildlife Control for a professional inspection, early intervention equals less expensive repairs for extensive damage.

What Does the North York Wildlife Removal Process Look Like?

No matter if you're working with squirrels or raccoons, or any other animal, the people that clear up wildlife are professionals that go by a structured, humane process that will provide a long-term solution, not a quick bandage fix.

Full Property Inspection

A licensed technician looks over the entire roof line and outside to determine the main point of entry and any other weak points. This step helps you out decide what kind of life is inhabiting your attic, and how they are there.

Baby Check (When Applicable)

It is important to inspect for young prior to any exclusion work is being performed on ground nests during the nesting season. If an infant is present, they are carefully transferred to a heated reunification box in the vicinity of the entry, and the mother is then free to take her family in — without getting stuck or even harming the infant in the process of trying to reunite with them.

Humane One-Way Door Exclusion

At the main entrance there is a one way door. Animals have a right to leave, but are unable to re-enter. We never use poison as these chemicals can kill the animals within walls which can cause much greater damage than the initial problem.

Sealing All Entry Points

Further vulnerable areas discovered during the inspection (even those other than the primary area) are permanently closed with a long-lasting material such as sheet metal or galvanized wire mesh. This is the one that will stop second-time operations.

Follow-Up and Final Closure

The technician comes back some days later to check the animals' departure and opens and closes the one-way door at the final opening. There's no job finished until your home has been completely secured.

Is DIY Wildlife Removal a Good Idea for North York Homes?

The urge is there to try a repellent, lights or store-bought traps before needing a professional to get rid of the problem, but rarely do these methods help with the issue. If an animal is established, repellents lose their effectiveness or are not used. Without a proper inspection, the animal may return to the room or another animal may re-enter the room in less than a week.

Most important of all, the act of placing traps as a family may cause a mother and her young to become separated in the nesting season, often resulting in much more damage in bid to reunite with its offspring. Even a successful trap-and-release effort may not be authorised, as all relocation of Ontario's wildlife is subject to the caps and conditions set out in the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act. The services rendered by a licensed company like AAA Sande Wildlife Control will be completed in a proper, humane, and legal manner, the first time it is attempted.
